The Citizens' Convention on Climate (CCC) gathered 150 people, randomly selected but representing the diversity of French society. Its mandate was to formulate a series of concrete measures aimed to achieve at least a 40% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (compared to 1990) while preserving social justice. The citizens auditioned experts on various topics from climate to economics and then formulated their own proposals, thus building an effective consensus, beyond individual specific interests. Moreover, proposals formed a coherent whole, and in this regard fare much better than previous attempts to tackle environmental and climate transition through public debates. This methodology shows how citizen science can produce efficient and quality outcomes. This opens new perspectives for democracy on the basis of new interaction channels between law‐makers, professional experts and citizens. This seems to be the approach chosen for the Conference on the Future of Europe as well. Gathering citizens from all EU countries to work on important topics for Europe and Europeans could be a way to build a common vision, and contribute to the creation of a true European common good. Citizens' direct involvement in science and democracy might be one of the keys to meaningfully and thus successfully address their shortcomings.

从《法国气候公约》到欧洲未来会议：参与式科学与民主的视角

公民气候公约（CCC）聚集了150人，他们是随机抽取的，但代表了法国社会的多样性。其任务是制定一系列具体措施，旨在到2030年（与1990年相比）至少减少40％的温室气体排放，同时保持社会公正。公民们从气候到经济学等各个主题试听了专家，然后提出了自己的建议，从而建立了超出个人特定利益的有效共识。此外，提案构成了一个连贯的整体，在这方面比以前通过公开辩论解决环境和气候过渡的尝试要好得多。这种方法论说明了公民科学如何产生有效和高质量的成果。这在立法者，专业专家和公民之间的新的互动渠道的基础上，为民主开辟了新的视野。这似乎也是欧洲未来会议选择的方法。召集来自所有欧盟国家的公民为欧洲和欧洲人研究重要议题可能是建立共同愿景并为创造真正的欧洲共同利益做出贡献的一种方式。公民直接参与科学与民主可能是有意义并成功解决其缺点的关键之一。并有助于创造真正的欧洲共同利益。公民直接参与科学与民主可能是有意义并成功解决其缺点的关键之一。并有助于创造真正的欧洲共同利益。公民直接参与科学与民主可能是有意义并成功解决其缺点的关键之一。
